Nasal mask - red mark

Post by m3rcy » Wed Sep 12, 2012 1:23 pm

Mirage™ FX Nasal CPAP Mask with Headgear - Has left a red mark across the bridge of my nose. Anyone recommend another mask or fix. It's kiling me.

Check out this thread, maybe this solution would also work for you -- we're hoping to see a photo of the modified mask.

I find that gel masks have more padding between the user and the frame than do silicone masks.
Too many of the silicone masks have no wiggle room unless you have the standard face.
I have also had good luck with the P/R Easylife; and of course my elan.
Tonight, I try my Sleepweaver Advance with improved zzzephyr seal--in pink!
